Mapiola is a travel blog: this is not the official website of Casa Nine con Piscina.
Where Casa Nine con Piscina is and how to get there
Casa Nine con Piscina is on Calle La Polvacera, in Breña Baja on the island of La Palma (Canary Islands). It is a self-contained holiday home in a natural setting, so the usual way to arrive and get around is by car.
According to the description, the coast is a few minutes away by car and there is easy access to walking routes. One guest adds that there are supermarkets and shopping areas a short distance away, a useful detail in a house designed for cooking. I would sort out the car before the house: with this kind of accommodation, it makes all the difference.
What the house is like and what it includes
It is a modern, functional house with natural materials and contemporary details. The description talks about a relaxing atmosphere, for both short and long stays.
This is what the available information says about the facilities.
- Full kitchen. Equipped, so you can prepare your meals without relying on restaurants.
- Living area. With a flat-screen TV.
- Free wifi and washing machine. Two comforts you will appreciate if you stay several days.
- Terrace with dining area. For eating outside with the views in front of you.
I don't have details on how many bedrooms it has or how many people it fits, so check that before booking.
The pool, the garden and the views
The main draw of Casa Nine con Piscina is, of course, its private outdoor pool. It is designed for cooling off while you look out at the sea and the mountain scenery.
The garden is large, with sunloungers and space for barbecues. For a group of friends or a family, having your own outdoor space, not shared with other guests, is the main reason to choose a house rather than a hotel. Two guests mention the views, and one review calls them stunning.
What guests say
The Google rating is 5 out of 5, but with only five reviews it should be read with caution. What is true is that every review I have is very good and they repeat three things.
- The hosts. Several guests speak of friendly owners and managers, and one person describes the owner as very pleasant.
- The views. Cited as one of the house's strong points.
- The facilities. One guest rates them first class and mentions comforts and services.
I have not read any complaints. But with so few reviews I cannot tell you how the house holds up over time, for example during a full stay or in bad weather.
What to know before booking
The first drawback is the most obvious one: there are very few reviews. A perfect rating from five comments is a good sign, but it is not the same as hundreds of reviews.
The second is isolation. Being in a natural, volcanic setting, you will need a car for almost everything. And as the pool is the centre of the house, ask when booking whether it can be used all year round and under what conditions, because I don't have that information.
Finally, part of what I know comes from the accommodation's own description, which naturally highlights the best bits. Guests confirm the views and the hospitality, but the rest of the facilities should be checked.
Who Casa Nine con Piscina is for
I would choose it for families, couples or groups of friends who want a quiet getaway in La Palma, with privacy and a space of their own outdoors. It is a good option if you like walking and coming back to bathe in your own pool.
It is not the best choice if you prefer a hotel with services or if you won't have a car. Nor if you need nightlife right outside the door.
Things to do in Breña Baja and La Palma
From Breña Baja you have walking routes, the coast and the volcanic landscape of the island within easy reach. According to the description, La Palma's mild climate makes it possible to plan a trip at almost any time of year.
My idea for a trip like this is two or three well-chosen outings, one in the hills and one by the coast, and the rest of the days at home, with the pool, the barbecue and the sunsets.
Passionate about travel and about the kind of places that turn a getaway into something unforgettable. I love writing about hotels, country houses and charming hideaways, helping every traveller find the perfect place to rest and feel at home.
